Díaz is a Peruvian-born bantamweight who moved to Tijuana as a teenager and built his career through Mexico's Lux Fight League, where he held the 135-pound title. His nickname means sticky, which fits a grappling-heavy game built on clinch control and back takes, though he showed real power in knocking out Kwon Won Il on the Contender Series. He submitted Malcolm Wellmaker in his May 2026 UFC debut and is on a nine-fight win streak.
